While thumbing through the October 2005 issue of the American Rifleman I found a full length article on the Remington 760/7600 rifles. On page 83 there was a breakdown of the production numbers on the 760 and Model 6.

According to this article the total production of the 760 1,034,438 units were produced. Of this figure 62,726 were in the carbine configuration. The production numbers of the various calibers were as follows:

.30/06 63%
.270 16%
.308 8%
.300 Savage 4%
.35 Rem. 3%
.243 3%
6MM 1%

All the following calibers comprised less than one percent of the production total:

.280
.257 Roberts
.244 Rem.
.222
.223

The article lists the Model 6 figures as follows:

36,236 total units produced. Production breakdown:

.30/06 50%
.270 29%
.243 10%
.308 8%
6MM 3%

Hopefully, this will be of some interest and help.
